1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,040
So, wow, where do I start?

3
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,920
So I do a number of different things.

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,160
Um, I'm a corporate recruiter.

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,200
I've been a recruiter for about 25 years.

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,920
And I've also been a photographer and podcaster.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,520
So in terms of a vision, I probably have visions for two different or

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,120
three different parts of what I do.

9
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,360
My vision for my recruitment business is to continue to build great

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:33,240
relationships, service the recruitment community, use technology, and continue

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,840
to grow as a recruiter and, and helping people find good jobs and matching

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,320
good clients to good candidates.

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,880
As a photographer and podcaster, my vision is to get a lot of people

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:54,200
more and more used to branding and utilizing a podcast strategy for

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,640
their branding and their marketing.

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,000
Cause I think it's still a very untouched marketplace right now.

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,360
And people are not using it, leveraging it to the full capacity or the full potential.

18
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,960
So that's my vision is to really do a lot more work around podcasting to help people

19
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:11,120
leverage what they do in the podcasting space.

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,560
What about the photography?

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,680
And photography, it kind of blends into that as well.

22
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,160
Um, I put photography and podcasting together under the branding

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,920
of marketing and branding.

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,600
Um, but for photography again, it's to continue to do great work with clients

25
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,240
and help them achieve what they want to achieve through visual imagery, because

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,760
visual imagery is so powerful, as they say, a picture tells a thousand words.

27
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,720
And people really have to think about how they're coming across visually

28
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:44,880
as well as everything else they do.

29
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,560
A lot of it's really interesting because a lot of people have the most

30
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,680
incredible visions in text and they have a great website.

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,400
And they have great articles and the photo that they portray is totally

32
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,840
incongruent with what they're trying to achieve.

33
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,400
So just from a simple photography background, your photo has to really

34
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,080
be in line with everything else you do.

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,360
So really important.

36
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,120
Where are you going with this vision?

37
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,040
So my vision again is to just continue to help as many people as I can.

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,280
Around the world, using podcasting as a marketing tool to help them in their

39
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,560
business or to help them with any initiative that they're trying to achieve.

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,240
And to really show people that as a guest or a host, they can use this

41
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,840
as a really, really great tool.

42
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,920
It's not just one or the other.

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,880
And to this day, a lot of people come on my show as a guest.

44
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,320
I was actually talking about this with someone just using the

45
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,640
podcast as a guest, I was actually talking about this with someone just

46
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,240
yesterday that I had a coffee with.

47
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,680
And she said, you know what?

48
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Someone else said the same thing.

49
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,080
She's also a strong podcast.

50
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,000
And she said, you know what?

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,280
People come on my show and they never do anything with them episodes.

52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,120
So that's what I'm really passionate about is to teach people and allow

53
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,480
people to understand that they're sitting on a gold mine of opportunity

54
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:14,120
with great content.

55
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,880
So it's time to really start leveraging that.

56
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:21,080
So my vision is to just help guests and hosts do better and get better results

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,720
using podcasting as their strategy.

58
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,200
What are you currently exploring?

59
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,200
Yeah.

60
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:35,120
So at the moment, my, my main focus of growth exploration, I'm growing in all,

61
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,760
in all areas, I'm trying to continue to grow, but my emphasis at the moment is

62
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,840
to really build my photo, my podcasting brand and my podcasting ecosystem.

63
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Because I think there's a real gap in that while continuing to work in other

64
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,120
areas, but what I love to do and what I'm very passionate about at the moment.

65
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,920
And again, passion moves from one month to the other, like for six months, you

66
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,080
could dive into something and then after six months, you might turn your direction

67
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,720
back to something else for six months.

68
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,400
And so things move and change.

69
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,760
It's not always the same, but right now I'm really passionate about building my

70
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:16,080
podcast ecosystem and I'm trying to put together lots of, um, courses, lots of

71
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:25,240
workshops, lots of webinars, lots of, um, sessions on how to help people both as a

72
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:31,840
guest and as a host use podcasting for their marketing purposes, because I think

73
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,040
I can, I can really see a need for that in the future more and more podcasting is

74
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,040
huge right now and it's growing every day and marketing is more and more important

75
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,720
now than it ever has been before.

76
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,560
And if people want to really think about marketing, well, a podcast strategy is a

77
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,520
great secret weapon if you do it right.

78
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,240
And so that's what I'm really passionate about.

79
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,680
And I want to share that strategy or those strategies to hosts as well as guests,

80
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,520
because not everybody wants to set up their own podcast.

81
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,440
Thank you for being here today.

82
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,920

84

This is going to get more and more fun.

86
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,360
We'll have more and more engagement as well.

87
